Ecological footprint (EF) is an important measure in calculating the human demands and impacts on our global environment. The present paper analyses the ecosystems’ productivity and the human demand from the ecosystems; it discusses the models that can be used in measuring the sustainability of ecosystem, climate changes and what we should be doing to maintain the earth healthy ecosystems. In particular, the paper will assess and introduce a comprehensive model called Global Ecological Footprint and climate change (GEF-CH) that can describe the status of our ecosystems’ productivities and the impacts of climate change and global human population Earth boundaries. From the analysis set up several recommendations to avoid irreversible impacts of human beings on the ecosystems and our global environment, including the impact of climate change.

Abstract
Ecological footprint (EF) is an important measure in calculating the human demands and impacts on our global environment.
